You could put a single rail motorcycle rack on the back of the 5er if it is a dirt bike. Build one with double receivers on both frame rails. I have seen many of these at motorcycle races lately. It mostly depends on the weight of the bike.

Interesting topic. I am in the same situation right now. I'd like to up size the TT to a 5er but I have a Quad that goes with us some of the time. Some day I'd like to get a motorcycle (street bike) too. I would not take BOTH at the same time. I have looked at the Keystone Raptors but even the smallest one is heavy for its size and it seems like a waste of space and money (a much nicer non-toyhauler can be had for the same or less money). In PA where double towing is NOT allowed. However, I have been told by a state trooper that the swivle wheel trailers are NOT considered trailers, hence they are legal. But i do have concerns about them too. Anyone have one?

Have you considered a DS (Dual Sport) motorcycle?

We bought two ATVs and a motorcycle a few months ago. DW rides the Polaris X2 700cc, which is legal for carrying one passenger. DD rides a Polaris Scrambler 500cc.

I have a Yamaha WR250R. this is my first ever motorcycle. I have not ridden much single track, mostly fire roads and ATV trails when we are camping. However, it is street legal so I can ride it to the store to purchase things we forgot when we are camping. I also ride it to work when at home.
